“222” is all Elliot, a rare thing for a Flatbush song, and proves to be one of the more musically sophisticated efforts on the album, incorporating more R&B than any other track. “Minephuck” uses a minimalist beat with a swelling string section to background Juice as he tears everything apart with a savage diatribe. Politically charged opener “Amerikkkan Pie” uses an angelic female vocalist to contrast the vicious rhymes. The fact that the mixtape spans 19 tracks enables the group to explore different concepts over the course of the hour runtime. Elliot’s occasional appearances find a delicate balance between the two, keeping up with his acid-addled friends in all things acid rap without actually doing any acid. Zombie Juice hits the high pitch with a singular ferocity. Meechy Darko’s growl is essentially the Tom Waits of rap if you trade all the liquor and sadness for 40s and acid.

With the production coming by and large from group member Erick Arc Elliott (plus one track each from Harry Fraud and Brooklyn’s Obey City), the spaced-out beats and grizzled bass are the perfect platform for the three to showcase their individuality. On their second mixtape, Better Off Dead, Brooklyn rap outfit Flatbush Zombies get darker and more political, but stay heavily rooted in the drug culture they’ve engrained themselves in.
